Essentially what I am saying is that he is a “class act” and you don’t suddenly become a bad player. He has a composure to his play, passing and finishing that separate him for the typical “blood and thunder” player and those are qualities that you either have or don’t have. I am certain when he is given a good run in the Villa side he will once again prove what a brilliant player he can be and one we may regret losing (or buy back for £30m in 2/3 years!)

If class was permanent, then he would have adapted to Tevez taking “his” position, surely you’ve just marginalised him into being one dimensional?

“esp. as we have such incompetent losers like Barry, Zabaleta etc vying for spots”

Couldnt disagree with you anymore….dont think you watch the same games.

His “season” consisted of flitting in and out of the team starting around 15 – he was still excellent in some of those games and suffered due to ill health and tactical changes which meant that Tevez was effectively in his area of the pitch. So to say he was “shit last season” is very unfair as you are not contextualising the facts surrounding your cliched claim.

Form is temporary, class is permanent.

If you look at the Man City fixture list (particulary early games) and if you understand how sneaky the press can be (just look at the capello bashing) I wouldnt be suprised if very soon a storm will be whipped up against Mancini in order to get him out and further distabailse Man City, Mark Hughes was doing just fine but everyone know he was a threat, dropping him for Mancini was a step sideways,
